Demand for workplace data has been a boon for SimpleClosure, whose CEO Dori Yona said that the level of inbound interest in it from AI companies has been “insane”.
“There’s a feeling of a gold rush from these companies trying to get their hands on real-world data,” he said.

For founders, closing a company is already painful. The bureaucracy that follows kicks them while they’re down.
In practice, that’s a mountain of paperwork involving lawyers, government agencies, employees, and investors. It takes months or years to complete properly.
“Devastating” and “overwhelming” are the right words.
Seeing how hard and unclear this process was when he needed to shut down his second company, @doriyona founded @Simple_Closure to “give founders like you the support we wished we had,” offering a different ending to the hundreds of thousands of businesses that close every year in the U.S.
As SimpleClosure puts it, knowing it’s time to shut down is hard, but doing it doesn’t have to be.
Why choose SimpleClosure? You can walk away with extra money by selling your proprietary data. You can join a community of founders who are going through the same hard process and learning how to start again, whether that means a new job or another company.
Since 2023, it has helped more than 8,000 companies shut down the right way, and its AssetHub product has returned over $10 million to founders by helping them sell their data and code.

Another great Law in the Age of AI panel, this time at LA @Techweek_!
Building on last week’s SF panel, we continued the conversation on how AI is reshaping the legal industry, what it means for founders, and where human judgment still matters.
Thanks to @Carta for joining us to bring this discussion to #LAtechweek. 🤝
Second-time founders know a thing or two about building a company.

Happening now at #LATechWeek by @Techweek_!
Brought to you by SimpleClosure, @NerdstageHQ, @VC_Match, @cartainc, @CooleyLLP, @beige_media, and @getBevi.
Selling company data is arguably the hottest topic in the startup space right now. Our panel on What Your Company Data is Worth at @Techweek_ starting now #sftechweek
We're live at The Founder Reset for SF @Techweek_ !
Spending the day at The Melody with Unicorner, Deck, and @descopeinc talking about lessons learned from building a second time, what company data is worth, and what it takes to build something big.
More to come from today's conversations!
I had tears watching this.
For any founder out there, this is a must watch.
I’ve been there myself, and this captures exactly why we do what we do at @Simple_Closure.
Close clean. Begin again.
Big news: SimpleClosure is partnering with @Intuit.
QuickBooks Workforce customers will now have access to SimpleClosure when they stop payroll, making it easier to properly close their state payroll tax accounts and, when needed, their business entirely.
We’ve already helped thousands of businesses close roughly 14,000 payroll tax accounts. Now, alongside Intuit, we’ll be able to bring that experience to even more business owners.
We’re incredibly excited for this next chapter and proud to be an Intuit partner.
Not-so-breaking news: we’ve been doing this for a while.
As a leading startup dissolution advisor, we’re building AssetHub, a fast-growing marketplace connecting AI labs with real-world data and code from companies that have actually operated.
Sounds like we should talk, @elonmusk@spacexai
